I have been a medical transcriptionist since 2008. I do operative reports for a major medical trauma center in Suffolk County, NY. After the jabs rolled out I started seeing an uptick in dictations for women having had miscarriages and missed abortion procedures and needing a D&C.
I have this one OB/GYN that I transcribe for that used to dictate C-section, forceps or vacuum deliveries 2-4 a day almost every day. For the last 2 years I have had only a few dictations for deliveries from him. The last one I had was maybe 8 or 9 months ago. Now he’s doing endometrial ablation procedures on women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding which I saw an uptick of since the jabs rolled out.
On another note, I transcribe dictations for a pediatric surgeon who mainly does surgeries for appendectomies, hernia repairs, tongue tie releases and circumcisions with the occasional Port-A-Cath or PICC line used to deliver chemotherapy due to a cancer diagnosis. Since the COVID jabs were released for kids I have seen a large uptick in dictations from this doctor for kids receiving PICC line or Port-A-Cath due to a cancer diagnosis.
Thank you for this personal report, on your medical transcription stats.
